We're constantly trying to gather more metrics in every aspect of our business, from our website, social, sales funnel, software actions, and anything else we can. What are some analytic tools Spiceheads use in your day to day routine to help gather information?

...think we're with you in that we don't use either to their full potential ;)

What are the requirements of "every aspect of the business" being sought? Having it written down can be a guide for the web developer (if any).

Particularly, how would it be preferred the reports/logs be seen, in terms of timing and who can see them.

Price, as always, is good to note. GA is free, making one less hurdle for adoption. Getting deep specifics from GA takes a time investment.

We use GA for live stats, and parse Apache & Nagios logs when needed (ugly & time consuming, but need isn't there).

The requirements would be to track and record any interaction with your brand/company. From marketing, sales, developers, we use different applications to help keep metrics on what works and what does't work.

GA is the obvious choice, and it's a good one, but I know there are other solutions for different aspects of business. We use KISSmetrics to help funnel in a lot of different measurements from all over and connect them (Sales, Marketing, Web Behavior). We also use a home grown solution inside our application to measure usage of certain features. I'm always looking for new stuff to work with ;)

Mixpanel and Flurry are two I've never heard of, so I'm interested in checking those out!

Richard, I'm very satisfied with Clicky! It's got everything GA has but on 1 screen.

As everyone else stated, Google Analytics for web traffic. But also use Buffer App for analytics on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn posts. Clicky is also good (like GA). Keyword tracking use an SEO app on the iPhone, plus Moz.com. Also our built-in tracking from our marketing automation system, Marketo.
